Test drive | the power of youth – the Genises G70

Dynamic gorgeous design, excellent performance, personalized intelligent configuration, coupled with a reasonable price, even latecomers, can still have a strong market competitiveness. The GenisesYS G70 interprets another possibility of "luxury" for Chinese consumers with its unique brand tone and distinctive elegant design. If I had to pick a prick out of it, the 2835mm wheelbase would provide a bit of awkward backroom, especially for someone as big as me. Therefore, the Genisesy G70 is destined to attract only a small number of niche consumers.
